reference website created for the education and enjoyment of militaria collectors, hobbyists and historians.It contains military items and ‘war
souvenirs’ from various nations and wars of the 20th Century, with
a primary focus on World War Two German Armed Forces.These items are for the visual study of
those interested in military history.If you are a visitor to this site and not familiar with the military
antique collectibles hobby, some of these items may be of a controversial
nature as they include symbolism associated with past atrocities of war that
were perpetrated on mankind.This site

be it of the Third Reich, Imperial Japan or the Stalinist Soviet era.We present these particular foreign items
simply as relics from a conquered foe, as well as antiquities belonging to
our Allied Forces.If you will be
offended by these types of items on this site, please do yourself a favor and
leave.If not, enjoy your immersion in
WWII history and feel free to reach out with comments or to introduce
